Eddie Hearn has claimed that talks remain "agreed" for a rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua after step-aside talks collapsed.
Joshua was subject to a set of talks regarding a step-aside offer worth £15million to allow WBC champion Fury to face the Ukrainian in an undisputed clash.
However the deal was made complicated with Dillian Whyte also involved in the tussle after being ordered as the mandatory challenge to Fury's belt.
Hearn now expects a fight to take place between Joshua and Usyk and has blamed other people's "desires" to make an undisputed clash for the prolonging of talks.
“That deal with AJ vs Usyk is very simple," Hearn told Mirror Fighting . "The deal is already done, terms are all agreed, it is literally just a conversation to say ‘Oleksandr it is April the whatever at Wembley, see you there mate’.
"With those guys it will be easy but it was people’s desire to try and come up with this other plan that prolonged everything. If that plan cannot be put in to place we should all just move on.
“Joshua hasn’t signed any non-formal agreement to step-aside, I am interested in looking to take the best opportunity for him to fight the winner of that fight to determine the best heavyweight in the world for a lot of money.
"We are very happy and AJ would prefer to face Usyk straight off the bat. But as everyone was getting in order Tyson Fury killed the deal anyway so he will now go and fight Dillian Whyte."
Joshua lost his unified titles to Usyk last September and immediately vowed to regain them after activating the rematch clause.
However he was reported to have been considering stepping aside to allow Fury to take an undisputed clash before facing the winner later this year.
£15million was reported to have been on offer for Joshua with Fury himself claiming that his rival had rejected a package worth $90million.

However Hearn has blamed Fury for the collapse of any offer branding him a "walking contradiction" after his furious social-media posts in the build-up to the decision.
"There was talks of these four fighters doing different things, but Fury didn’t really want to fight Usyk straight off the bat he wanted an interim fight," Hearn continued.
"He [Fury] is the king of contradiction, one minute AJ is a coward for accepting step-aside then he is an idiot for not accepting $90million. Which one is it?
"But Dillian Whyte is more than happy to face Tyson Fury. AJ is more than happy to fight Usyk. People were pushing ideas to us that could have made sense but the wording was incorrect so we all need to now just move on.
"There is purse bids due to take place for Fury Whyte tomorrow (Friday) and I expect those to take place."
